The Unforeseen

By Claire Ackroyd

Some fears should be ignored. Others can't be.

Lara has spent years trying to outrun her past, and experience has taught her to recognise danger. So when she becomes convinced her sister Hannah's life is at risk, she knows she can't ignore it. The sisters are about to reunite at a remote cottage for their mother's fiftieth birthday, and Lara is certain something terrible is coming.

But Lara's deepening anxieties only reawaken old tensions. With her young daughter watching on, she must navigate a maze of past trauma and doubts. And when relationships between the cottage guests begin to unravel, the sisters discover that some threats are all too real.

As autumn leaves fall and shadows lengthen, the line between protection and destruction begins to blur. Can Lara save her sister without destroying everything--and everyone--she loves?
